In order for you to prove that this is indeed a contradiction, you have to prove that the action "changing one's mind" is logically possible in the case of an omnipotent+omniscient being. And in fact, it's not.
If such a being decides to do A, then A becomes necessary, there is no possible world where A doesn't happen at some point. With this in mind, a deity not being able to avoid A after their decision is made, is not a problem, since it's not logically possible for A to not happen.
And it's not a threat to omnipotence to not be capable of doing the logically impossible.
I would have answered differently. God is the creator of time not subject to it.
